PLEASANT HALL - A Mercersburg man released on bail last month after being accused of raping a relative's friend has been charged in two new cases, both involving girls under the age of 16.

Dakota Lee Lininger, 19, was taken back into custody Friday. He is accused in one case of three counts each of sexual assault and indecent assault, and of multiple counts each of rape of a child, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, statutory sexual assault and aggravated indecent assault in another case, according to court documents.

Due to court document redaction, it is unclear whether either girl making these new allegations is the same girl who made the initial complaint. The age of the first girl was never given.

Lininger was charged with rape by forcible compulsion on April 5, according to online court documents. A girl told police Lininger forced himself on her while she was staying at his home last June.

The new allegations are similar in nature.

The first of the new allegations came from a 12-year-old girl who told investigators about an incident she said happened in November.

The girl said she was to spend the night with her friend at a Peters Township residence, and Lininger was also there because he was the friend's relative.

Lininger drove the girl to the Peter's Township residence, but along the way pulled over and asked the girl if she would do sexual acts, the girl told investigators, according to court documents.

The girl was scared because she thought he was older, and court documents show investigators believe he lied about his age. Lininger allegedly started to force the girl to perform sexual acts, and she said she complied out of fear Lininger would hurt her.

Lininger then allegedly stated intent to have sex with the girl, but she told him she was scared and was not ready, according to court documents. The girl said Lininger did not listen and raped her, despite her screams for him to stop.

The girl said afterward they got dressed and went to their original destination. Once there, the girl said she watched movies with her friend and shortly after went to bed.

Though in the basement, the girl said Lininger came downstairs to sleep with her and assaulted her again, according to court documents.

A 15-year-old girl spoke with investigators on May 2. She said she was at Lininger's home watching movies with him when he assaulted her sometime in January.

The girl described Lininger starting to touch her inappropriately, which she said "no" to several times. The girl alleges Lininger raped her as well, according to court documents.

The girl said there were three incidents like this over the course of a week, once in his vehicle when he was supposed to be helping his family.

The third alleged incident occurred in his bedroom. He told the girl he needed to grab something and asked her to come with him, then when they got to the room he allegedly closed the door and locked it before ordering her into bed, court documents state.

The girl told Lininger she wouldn't have sex with him, but he continued.

"I said no. I did not give consent," she said, according to court documents. She said Lininger raped her then as well.

After being detained in the first case, Lininger was released on $75,000 bail the day of his arraignment, April 23, according to online court documents.

In both new cases, bail was set at $125,000, a combined $250,000, according to court documents. Court records show he was unable to post bail and is being held at Franklin County Jail.
